The internet is a scary place. Dot-com businesses track you to ‘improve’ the ads they can push at you, and cybercriminals are trying to scam you and steal your data. Network-wide ad-blocking can improve your internet experience by blocking advertising, tracking and even malware.
Network-wide ad-blockers sadly cannot remove all ad’s shown on web pages or when ‘baked’ into video content (like YouTube for example), they can though block the nasty stuff you cannot see, the stuff which can be used to track what you search or watch on the web. These blocks can considerably increase internet speed and reduce bandwidth (download/upload) overhead on connection.
Not only do these devices block out ad tracking and advertising, but they also play a large role in forms of malware blocking also. In most cases, Malware is spread over the web via malicious URL links passed through emails, dodgy website addresses or links in Facebook etc. When these links are found and added to blocklists used by our network ad-blockers, you are given another line of defence along side any Anti Virus protection you may already have.
Local ad blocking servers can be built and set up in your home, powered from your modem in most cases and are the approximate size of a packet of cigarettes.
